Language is a critical way to have students in our country compete with those student from other countries who all learn English as a second language, starting in elementary school! This should be offered for sixth graders!

I really would love to have my kids learn how to speak Spanish. I think at this point, they're old enough to learn. When younger, we were told one language at a time.

I attended Mesa Verde years ago (a PUSD school) and this was an option for me. It was very beneficial and counted towards my high school credits.

I teach middle and high school Spanish at CCA and PTMS. The sooner you expose students to learning a 2nd language is better! Many other districts offer Spanish in elementary school and in 6th and 7th grade. Don't let our students fall behind.

These are my grandchildren, and they are going to need Spanish throughout the rest of their secondary education. It needs to begin in the 7th grade.

A simple and casual query about the growing numbers and influence of the Hispanic population in our country and especially in our locale makes it imperative that our kids (and in my case grandkids) are conversant in Spanish. It's a no-brainer.

Please. Ring Spanish in to OVMS as an elective!
It should be offered at 6th grade level.
Spanish should be elective from 6th grade.
An essential class worth fighting for!
